Student feedback

I enjoyed watching and learnt a little something from every video. This refresher and the new tips will help my rel'ps with my own dogs, help me as an instructor for my dog club and how I can make things better for my students. It was nice to see you again IAN - Saskatoon 2007 was quite a while ago!! THANK YOU also Ian for giving us this for free (I think I only missed one) and thanks to everyone else for your time - great to see some new faces with new ideas. Well Done everyone! I sent the link to 3 or 4 others. We've shared some thoughts too. Thanks for making it so easy to hook up to online!

I was especially interested in Dr Cooney's talk. I have a year old shelter pup. Vaccines have been on my mind. I have had a consult or two with Dr Cooney before. Great information! Anyone who has an interest in learning more, a different way of healing. I started my journey into this type of healing a long time ago but there is always more to learn. It really is amazing stuff!

I learned so much that proves raw is the only way to feed our pets. I learned that FOOD feeds our body and it should feed our pets. NOT KIBBLE. I learned the food is the supplements not necessary to add so much because the food if fed right has all the nutrients they need. I'll only add I wish I had know this back in 2011 our Madeleine would still be here. But she was my teacher to keep Gracie healthy and safe. I just wish all pet parents knew this.

To anyone who loves their pets so much and wants them to live a long happy and healthy life. Our pets should be here for years like sixteen, twenty or longer than what’s happening with the dog food industry. This summit proves how they can be.
Thank you all for so much information!!!!

The breadth of knowledge presented at the Dog Gut Health Summit has been outstanding. As someone very interested in the science behind canine nutrition and health, I’ve been thrilled to listen to hours of academic but easy to digest information for pet parents. I have learned so much and am so grateful for this event - thank you! I would recommend the Dog Gut Health Summit to all new dog owners - as a prerequisite! More realistically - owners who want to do the best for their dogs and see them live long, fulfilled lives; vets who have not sought further education in nutrition; and business owners in the pet industry so they can best assist their clients.

I love hearing new ideas. As a trainer sometimes it is a new take on something or just a refresher of something we know, but some of this is new stuff for an old trainer! Hearing it from someone else especially from other countries is great fun! Loved the Kids and Dogs! Actually have enjoyed all so far. Thank you for a fun educational weekend by my fireplace! Everyone! But especially dog people who need a new take on things.
